S13 to RB25 build - now with ghetto frame bending technique!
Since i got this car last year, i have held off the urge to swap something into it. Everyone else had Sr's and i had my shitty sohc KA that made a whopping 94 horse up here at 5,000 feet above sea level. Instead of swapping, I spent the last year concentrating on just driving. Learning the car, technique, lines, and learning to drift.
as she sat for the last year: Season is over (at least in NM), and i think i am ready to step up to power. Time to build. Started in november of 08. teh rb too many people, not enough hands lol, awesome shot nonetheless, and thanks to those that helped pull the worlds ugliest motor out. out with the dash started sanding for some reason, the rad. support was bondo'd together, and exploded when we tried to straighten her out. how we straightened the frame. unsafe ghetto action is awesome on a sunday. the hack job some may consider a repair (PO) more carnage rust rust rust engine going in from the bottom cock size? maybe custom ish motor mounts done, engine in had to make a trans mount (more bracing on them to come later) Busted ass rad support = lame temp reassemble of the front end was needed begin fab! how to make amazing: step 1 use sharpe to make strange marks step 2 drill said marks step 3 profit... headlight brackets done. (update as of 2/08/09) Now I have until March 7th to finish. Shit. My intercooler is 1000% more JDM than anyone else's. Why? It fucking says so goddammit. Finished sanding, primer this weekend. Started wiring. more to come. |
